Sudan Port … Sudan window and strategic carrier of Africa ✍️ Mr. Al -Jali Abdul Qadir Ahmed
The Sudan port is not only a port on the Red Sea, but rather a national equation with strategic, economic, political and geographic dimensions, and today it stands at the heart of the Sudanese scene as a symbol of stability and openness despite the challenges, and as a key to a better future.
* First: strategic depth and influence position *
Port Sudan is located at a sensitive sea crossing connecting Asia and Africa via the Red Sea. This geographic location makes it a candidate to be the center of a global maritime and commercial influence, not only for Sudan, but for the whole region. This is a focal point to control trade in marine corridors, of increasing importance in the light of geopolitical transformations in the horn of Africa and the Persian Gulf.
* Second: the economic and pulmonary portal *
Port of Port Sudan represents the main corridor of more than 90% of exports and imports from Sudan. Because it is the most important sea port, the development of its infrastructure will allow Sudan to play a pivotal role in regional and international supply chains, in particular for countries such as South Sudan, Chad and Ethiopia, which lacks direct naval outlets.
* Third: logistics dimension and industrial integration *
Port Sudan has enormous qualifications to be an integrated logistics axis by developing free industrial zones, storage centers and processing industries. The establishment of railway lines and superhyyeia towards and from the city will increase its efficiency as an intercontinental distribution center.
Fourth: Tourism and Blue Development *
The natural beauty that surrounds Sudan from Port from amazing coast and rare coral reefs that makes it eligible to be a global tourist destination, especially in the diving and environmental tourism fields. Maritime tourism can help diversify sources of income and support the local economy.
* Fifth: Diplomatic policy and opening *
In light of the current political situation, the Sudan port has become the temporary administrative and political center, which improves its role as a platform to reshape diplomatic and development relations and as a starting point for new regional economic alliances.
Sixth: national security and state building *
Port Sudan is not only a commercial site, but rather the first line of economic defense, and the maintenance of its stability and its development represents a vital pillar of the continuation of the Sudanese state in the light of successive crises.
* Port Sudan * is not only a “port”, but rather a “strategic vision” which must be formulated with an integrated approach connecting security, the economy, infrastructure and human development. Thanks to active partnerships between the public and private sectors, this city can turn into a coastal development model and a strategic platform connecting Sudan to the world and restore it on the regional and international map.
